Thanks for the help everyone but are there similar challenges to this? I'm not ready to move on!

I have found this section of the course most difficult so far. Even if I didn't answer other challenges in the best way or completely, I was close enough to feel confident I would do better next time and that I gained from the experience.

For this challenge, I read others solutions here and still feel that my logical paths are not capable of coming to a working solution if I were to be given a different challenge of a similar difficulty.

Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do to get more practice?

Thanks in advance

Where exactly are you at in the course? The topic just says javaScript. You might find freecodecamp.com useful as well. They have easy to follow lessons, though without video and, when a section is done a challenge is presented. Their challenges are far more in depth but, they build on what you already should know at a given point.

I have seen some clever ideas being shared on the board based on where you are at. For example, just the other day someone wrote a rock/paper/scissors snippet. I have also read portions of books, one of which created a battle ship game and, it was built on throughout a larger section of the book. Another idea would be to recreate the Simon game where you push a series of colors that match what you are shown.

So, you can come up with something you may think will work for where you are at.

Build an app of your own! Think about something you want to make and just dive in and start doing it, even if you're not entirely sure how it will all come together. This is, in my opinion, the BEST way to enhance your learning -- once you get the foundation, of course.
